Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cable connector of at least two electrical cables.
- the invention can be used to connect any cable.
- a particularly preferred field of application is the connection of solar cables, which are used for line transmission and / or for the transmission of signals to photovoltaic systems.
- the cables When installing photovoltaic systems, the cables often have to be laid flexibly. It may happen that cables have to be lengthened or shortened in order to be optimally laid on, for example, the roof of a building.
- Line connectors which are used in the field of photovoltaic systems, are often exposed to difficult environmental conditions, since they are often laid more or less unprotected outdoors. Therefore, line connectors must meet increased protection requirements to ensure the protection of people against potential hazards during their use and also to protect the system itself.
- at least one protection class IP67 in accordance with DIN EN 60529 or DIN 40050 Part 9 is required for such outdoor cable connectors. This means that there is protection against access with a wire and a dustproof closure of the line connector.
- the line connector according to the invention is equipped with a housing.
- the housing comprises a first cable gland for receiving a first cable, at least one second cable gland for receiving a second cable and at least one tube device.
- At least one contact device is provided on which at least the first cable can be connected to at least the second cable.
- the line connector according to the invention has many advantages, since it is simple in construction and offers reliable protection against environmental influences and is designed to be safe to touch.
- By the locking device increased protection is ensured because when screwing the corresponding cable gland with the housing a latching condition occurs that can not be solved by hand again.
- the latching device may be designed so that after latching a non-destructive opening is not possible.
- a particularly high level of protection is achieved since an inexperienced person, who takes the line connector in the hand, can not open the line connector so far that the person receives touching contact with the cable ends.
- the housing comprises at least one tube device, in which the contact device is receivable against rotation and contact safely.
- the tube device in particular completely accommodates the contact device. If the tube device, for example, cylindrical, so protects the Tube means a touching contact of the contact device over the entire circumference of the cylinder, so that only the optionally open end faces of the tube device still need to be protected.
- the tube device consists of a non-conductive material, which is plastic, for example.
- the tube device may not only be cylindrical, but may also have a rectangular outer cross-section, for example.
- the inner cross section of the pipe device is in particular designed such that the contact device is receivable against rotation in the interior of the pipe device. It is possible, for example, that for mounting the tube device is pushed over a cable end and then the cable ends are connected to the contact device together, and that subsequently the tube device is pushed over the contact device until it receives the contact device against rotation inside.
- Such a configuration with a pipe device that receives the contact device against rotation and touch safe has considerable advantages.
- the construction of a small-sized line connector is made possible, which requires little space.
- the laying of a line connector is possible even in thin sections or in narrow grooves, resulting for example on roofs or facades.
- Large-sized cable connectors from the prior art can often not be used there because the available space is not always sufficient.
- the line connector according to the invention offers considerable advantages here, since it is flexible and needs-based.
- the tube device is provided with the first or the second cable gland.
- the pipe device is firmly connected to the first or the second cable gland. It is possible that the tube device is formed integrally with a cable gland.
- the contact device is designed as a contact carrier.
- the contact carrier may have a plurality of contacts, which are provided for connecting multi-core cable.
- the latching device preferably has at least one latching unit on the contact carrier and at least one latching unit cooperating therewith on at least one cable gland.
- the interacting locking units on the contact carrier or the contact unit and the cable gland allow easy installation, in which after locking the locking units of the locking device independent release is no longer possible.
- the locking device To release the connection and to open the line connector, the locking device must be released again, which is possible in certain embodiments only by a reversible deformation or damage or even destruction of one of the locking units. This ensures reliable protection against unintentional opening, since first such a force has to be expended that deforms a locking unit, damaged or even destroyed.
- At least one latching unit is designed as a star toothing. It is possible that the latching unit is formed on the contact carrier and / or the latching unit on the cable gland as a star toothing. It is also possible that only one of the two locking units is designed as a star toothing, while the other locking unit has locking teeth or the like, which interact with the other star toothing.
- At least one star tooth has elastically formed teeth.
- the elastically formed Teeth are formed in particular on the contact device and preferably on the contact carrier.
- the elastically formed teeth may consist of a plastic or a metal material and be biased into the detent position.
- the spur gearing of the contact carrier is in contact with the spur gearing of the cable gland, wherein the elastically formed teeth preferably pivot elastically back in the glanding process. A loosening the cable gland is not possible then, since the two spur gears mesh with each other and no or only a very small force component is present, which brings the elastically formed teeth out of engagement with the spur gear.
- the contact carrier has at least one contact, which is taken from a group of contacts, which comprises screw contacts, clamping contacts, plug contacts, solder contacts and the like.
- At least one contact is designed as a screw contact. It is also possible that the contacts are designed as terminal contacts or that the individual wires of the cables to be connected to each other are soldered together.
- the contact carrier is equipped on both sides with a spur gear.
- the contact carrier is constructed by side symmetry.
- a side-symmetric contact carrier which is equipped with a spur toothing on both sides, has many advantages, since it is possible to reopen the line connector after a first-time locking and reuse the contact carrier again, even if the locking unit was damaged at the front side when opening.
- the contact carrier can then be re-installed in reverse and the spur toothing on the other side can serve for a latching engagement with a corresponding cable gland.
- a mirror-symmetrically constructed contact carrier facilitates the assembly, since you do not have to pay attention during assembly, which side of the contact carrier is aligned to which side.
- the cable may comprise 2 or more and in particular also 5, 8, 10 or 12 or a different number of wires.
- the cable glands on the opposite sides preferably thread to be bolted there with corresponding nuts. When screwing the nut with the appropriate cable gland, a clamped recording of the recorded cable to the cable gland. For sealing a seal is preferably provided in the interior of the cable gland, which consists in particular of a rubber-elastic material or the like.
- a nut and the corresponding cable gland or pipe device with associated cable gland is pushed onto a cable end and the both cable ends are connected to each other at the contact carrier.
- a cable gland is pushed from one side and the other cable gland from the other side, possibly with the tube device, onto the contact carrier, so that the contact carrier is held against rotation within the tube device.
- the or the cable glands are screwed to the pipe device.
- the contact carrier is already taken safe to touch the housing. Since the cable gland is locked to the contact carrier, opening the housing is not readily possible. In particular, it can be practically impossible to open the housing without tools by hand, so that there is a very reliable protection against touching the wire ends even for inexperienced people.
- the nuts are screwed to the cable glands at the ends of the cable glands so that the cable ends are clamped and sealed to the cable glands.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Leitungsverbinder wenigstens zweier elektrischer Kabel. Grundsätzlich kann die Erfindung zur Verbindung beliebiger Kabel eingesetzt werden. Ein besonders bevorzugter Anwendungsbereich ist die Verbindung von Solarkabeln, die zur Leitungsübertragung und/oder zur Übertragung von Signalen an Photovoltaikanlagen eingesetzt werden. Bei der Montage von Photovoltaikanlagen müssen die Kabel häufig flexibel verlegt werden. Dabei kann es vorkommen, dass Kabel verlängert oder auch gekürzt werden müssen, um optimal auf beispielsweise dem Dach eines Gebäudes verlegt zu werden.The present invention relates to a cable connector of at least two electrical cables. In principle, the invention can be used to connect any cable. A particularly preferred field of application is the connection of solar cables, which are used for line transmission and / or for the transmission of signals to photovoltaic systems. When installing photovoltaic systems, the cables often have to be laid flexibly. It may happen that cables have to be lengthened or shortened in order to be optimally laid on, for example, the roof of a building.
Leitungsverbinder, welche im Bereich von Photovoltaikanlagen eingesetzt werden, sind oft schwierigen Umweltbedingungen ausgesetzt, da sie oftmals mehr oder weniger ungeschützt im Freien verlegt werden. Deshalb müssen Leitungsverbinder erhöhte Schutzanforderungen erfüllen, um den Schutz von Menschen gegenüber potenzieller Gefährdung bei deren Benutzung sicherzustellen und die Anlage auch selbst zu schützen. Meist wird für solche Leitungsverbinder im Außenbereich wenigstens eine Schutzklasse IP67 gemäß DIN EN 60529 bzw. DIN 40050 Teil 9 gefordert. Das bedeutet, dass ein Schutz gegen den Zugang mit einem Draht und ein staubdichter Verschluss des Leitungsverbinders vorliegen. Weiterhin liegt wenigstens ein Schutz gegen zeitweiliges Untertauchen in Wasser vor. Solche Betriebszustände können beispielsweise bei Regen oder Schnee auftreten.Line connectors, which are used in the field of photovoltaic systems, are often exposed to difficult environmental conditions, since they are often laid more or less unprotected outdoors. Therefore, line connectors must meet increased protection requirements to ensure the protection of people against potential hazards during their use and also to protect the system itself. Usually, at least one protection class IP67 in accordance with DIN EN 60529 or DIN 40050
Eine elektrische Verbindungsanordnung, welche vor schädlichen Umwelteinflüssen schützen soll, ist unter anderem aus der
Eine weitere wichtige Eigenschaft solcher Leitungsverbinder ist es, einen zuverlässigen Berührschutz zur Verfügung zu stellen.Another important feature of such line connectors is to provide reliable touch protection.
Da Photovoltaikanlagen oftmals auf den Dächern von Wohngebäuden von Privatpersonen installiert werden, ist es auch erforderlich, den Berührschutz so vorzusehen, dass Privatpersonen nicht unbeabsichtigt die stromführenden Teile berühren können.Since photovoltaic systems are often installed on the roofs of residential buildings of private individuals, it is also necessary to provide the protection against contact so that individuals can not inadvertently touch the live parts.
Es ist deshalb die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Leitungsverbinder zur Verfügung zu stellen, der zwei Kabelenden dicht miteinander verbindet, wobei die Kabelenden vor einer Berührung durch die Hand auch eines unbedarften Benutzers geschützt sind.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a cable connector that connects two cable ends tightly together, the cable ends are protected from contact by the hand and a low-profile user.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen Leitungsverbinder mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1. Bevorzugte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche. Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der vorliegenden Erfindung ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung des Ausführungsbeispiels.This object is achieved by a line connector having the features of
Der erfindungsgemäße Leitungsverbinder ist mit einem Gehäuse ausgerüstet. Das Gehäuse umfasst eine erste Kabelverschraubung zur Aufnahme eines ersten Kabels, wenigstens eine zweite Kabelverschraubung zur Aufnahme eines zweiten Kabels und wenigstens eine Rohreinrichtung. Es ist wenigstens eine Kontakteinrichtung vorgesehen, an der wenigstens das erste Kabel mit wenigstens dem zweiten Kabel verbindbar ist. Es ist weiterhin wenigstens eine Rasteinrichtung vorgesehen, welche dazu geeignet und ausgebildet ist, beim Verschrauben wenigstens einer Kabelverschraubung mit der Rohreinrichtung die Kontakteinrichtung mit der Kabelverschraubung zu verrasten, sodass die Kabel berührsicher an dem Gehäuse aufgenommen sind. Dabei kann ein Verschrauben der ersten Kabelverschraubung mit dem Gehäuse oder ein Verschrauben der zweiten Kabelverschraubung mit dem Gehäuse oder ein Verschrauben der ersten Kabelverschraubung und der zweiten Kabelverschraubung mit dem Gehäuse erfolgen.The line connector according to the invention is equipped with a housing. The housing comprises a first cable gland for receiving a first cable, at least one second cable gland for receiving a second cable and at least one tube device. At least one contact device is provided on which at least the first cable can be connected to at least the second cable. It is still at least one Locking device provided, which is suitable and designed to lock the contact device with the cable gland when screwing at least one cable gland with the pipe device, so that the cables are received safe to touch the housing. In this case, a screwing of the first cable gland to the housing or a screwing of the second cable gland to the housing or a screwing of the first cable gland and the second gland to the housing.
Der erfindungsgemäße Leitungsverbinder hat viele Vorteile, da er einfach aufgebaut ist und einen zuverlässigen Schutz vor Umwelteinflüssen bietet und berührsicher aufgebaut ist. Durch die Rasteinrichtung wird ein erhöhter Schutz gewährleistet, da beim Verschrauben der entsprechenden Kabelverschraubung mit dem Gehäuse ein Rastzustand auftritt, der von Hand nicht wieder gelöst werden kann.The line connector according to the invention has many advantages, since it is simple in construction and offers reliable protection against environmental influences and is designed to be safe to touch. By the locking device increased protection is ensured because when screwing the corresponding cable gland with the housing a latching condition occurs that can not be solved by hand again.
Insbesondere kann die Rasteinrichtung so ausgebildet sein, dass nach dem Einrasten ein zerstörungsfreies Öffnen nicht möglich ist. Dadurch wird ein besonders hoher Schutz erzielt, da eine unbedarfte Person, die den Leitungsverbinder in die Hand nimmt, den Leitungsverbinder nicht soweit öffnen kann, dass die Person berührenden Kontakt zu den Kabelenden erhält.In particular, the latching device may be designed so that after latching a non-destructive opening is not possible. As a result, a particularly high level of protection is achieved since an inexperienced person, who takes the line connector in the hand, can not open the line connector so far that the person receives touching contact with the cable ends.
Vorzugsweise umfasst das Gehäuse wenigstens eine Rohreinrichtung, in der die Kontakteinrichtung verdrehsicher und berührsicher aufnehmbar ist. Das bedeutet, dass die Rohreinrichtung die Kontakteinrichtung insbesondere vollständig aufnimmt. Ist die Rohreinrichtung beispielsweise zylindrisch ausgebildet, so schützt die Rohreinrichtung einen berührenden Kontakt der Kontakteinrichtung über den gesamten Umfang des Zylinders, sodass nur die gegebenenfalls offenen Stirnseiten der Rohreinrichtung noch geschützt werden müssen.Preferably, the housing comprises at least one tube device, in which the contact device is receivable against rotation and contact safely. This means that the tube device in particular completely accommodates the contact device. If the tube device, for example, cylindrical, so protects the Tube means a touching contact of the contact device over the entire circumference of the cylinder, so that only the optionally open end faces of the tube device still need to be protected.
Insbesondere besteht die Rohreinrichtung aus einem nicht leitenden Material, welches beispielsweise Kunststoff ist. Die Rohreinrichtung kann nicht nur zylindrisch ausgebildet sein, sondern kann auch einen beispielsweise rechteckigen Außenquerschnitt aufweisen.In particular, the tube device consists of a non-conductive material, which is plastic, for example. The tube device may not only be cylindrical, but may also have a rectangular outer cross-section, for example.
Auch andere mehreckige Querschnitte oder elliptische Querschnitte oder dergleichen sind möglich. Der Innenquerschnitt der Rohreinrichtung ist insbesondere derart gestaltet, dass die Kontakteinrichtung verdrehsicher im Inneren der Rohreinrichtung aufnehmbar ist. Möglich ist es beispielsweise, dass zur Montage die Rohreinrichtung über ein Kabelende geschoben wird und anschließend die Kabelenden an der Kontakteinrichtung miteinander verbunden werden, und dass anschließend die Rohreinrichtung über die Kontakteinrichtung geschoben wird, bis sie die Kontakteinrichtung verdrehsicher im Inneren aufnimmt.Other polygonal cross sections or elliptical cross sections or the like are possible. The inner cross section of the pipe device is in particular designed such that the contact device is receivable against rotation in the interior of the pipe device. It is possible, for example, that for mounting the tube device is pushed over a cable end and then the cable ends are connected to the contact device together, and that subsequently the tube device is pushed over the contact device until it receives the contact device against rotation inside.
Eine solche Ausgestaltung mit einer Rohreinrichtung, die die Kontakteinrichtung verdrehsicher und berührsicher aufnimmt, hat erheblich Vorteile. Insbesondere wird auch die Konstruktion eines kleinbauenden Leitungsverbinders ermöglicht, der nur wenig Raumbedarf erfordert. Dadurch wird die Verlegung eines Leitungsverbinders auch in dünnen Profilen oder in schmalen Nuten ermöglicht, die sich beispielsweise auf Dächern oder an Fassaden ergeben. Großbauende Leitungsverbinder aus dem Stand der Technik können dort oftmals nicht eingesetzt werden, da der zur Verfügung stehende Raum nicht immer ausreicht. Der erfindungsgemäße Leitungsverbinder bietet hier erhebliche Vorteile, da er flexibel und bedarfsgerecht aufgebaut ist.Such a configuration with a pipe device that receives the contact device against rotation and touch safe, has considerable advantages. In particular, the construction of a small-sized line connector is made possible, which requires little space. As a result, the laying of a line connector is possible even in thin sections or in narrow grooves, resulting for example on roofs or facades. Large-sized cable connectors from the prior art can often not be used there because the available space is not always sufficient. The line connector according to the invention offers considerable advantages here, since it is flexible and needs-based.
Vorzugsweise ist die Rohreinrichtung mit der ersten oder der zweiten Kabelverschraubung versehen. Das bedeutet insbesondere, dass die Rohreinrichtung fest mit der ersten oder der zweiten Kabelverschraubung verbunden ist. Möglich ist es, dass die Rohreinrichtung einstückig mit einer Kabelverschraubung ausgebildet ist.Preferably, the tube device is provided with the first or the second cable gland. This means in particular that the pipe device is firmly connected to the first or the second cable gland. It is possible that the tube device is formed integrally with a cable gland.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die Kontakteinrichtung als Kontaktträger ausgebildet. Der Kontaktträger kann eine Mehrzahl von Kontakten aufweisen, die zur Verbindung mehradriger Kabel vorgesehen sind.
Vorzugsweise weist die Rasteinrichtung wenigstens eine Rasteinheit an dem Kontaktträger und wenigstens eine damit zusammenwirkende Rasteinheit an wenigstens einer Kabelverschraubung auf. Die miteinander zusammenwirkenden Rasteinheiten an dem Kontaktträger bzw. der Kontakteinheit und an der Kabelverschraubung ermöglichen eine einfache Montage, bei der nach dem Verrasten der Rasteinheiten der Rasteinrichtung ein selbstständiges Lösen nicht mehr möglich ist. Zum Lösen der Verbindung und zum Öffnen des Leitungverbinders muss die Rasteinrichtung wieder gelöst werden, was in bestimmten Ausgestaltungen nur durch eine reversible Verformung oder eine Beschädigung oder sogar Zerstörung einer der Rasteinheiten möglich ist. Dadurch wird ein zuverlässiger Schutz vor einem unbeabsichtigten Öffnen gewährleistet, da zunächst eine solche Kraft aufgewendet werden muss, die eine Rasteinheit verformt, beschädigt oder gar zerstört.Advantageously, the contact device is designed as a contact carrier. The contact carrier may have a plurality of contacts, which are provided for connecting multi-core cable.
The latching device preferably has at least one latching unit on the contact carrier and at least one latching unit cooperating therewith on at least one cable gland. The interacting locking units on the contact carrier or the contact unit and the cable gland allow easy installation, in which after locking the locking units of the locking device independent release is no longer possible. To release the connection and to open the line connector, the locking device must be released again, which is possible in certain embodiments only by a reversible deformation or damage or even destruction of one of the locking units. This ensures reliable protection against unintentional opening, since first such a force has to be expended that deforms a locking unit, damaged or even destroyed.
Vorzugsweise ist wenigstens eine Rasteinheit als Sternverzahnung ausgebildet. Möglich ist es, dass die Rasteinheit an dem Kontaktträger und/oder die Rasteinheit an der Kabelverschraubung als Sternverzahnung ausgebildet ist. Möglich ist es auch, dass nur eine der beiden Rasteinheiten als Sternverzahnung ausgebildet ist, während die andere Rasteinheit Rastzähne oder dergleichen aufweist, die mit der anderen Sternverzahnung zusammen wirken.Preferably, at least one latching unit is designed as a star toothing. It is possible that the latching unit is formed on the contact carrier and / or the latching unit on the cable gland as a star toothing. It is also possible that only one of the two locking units is designed as a star toothing, while the other locking unit has locking teeth or the like, which interact with the other star toothing.
Vorteilhafterweise weist wenigstens eine Sternverzahnung elastisch ausgebildete Zähne auf. Die elastisch ausgebildeten Zähne sind insbesondere an der Kontakteinrichtung und vorzugsweise an dem Kontaktträger ausgebildet. Die elastisch ausgebildeten Zähne können aus einem Kunststoff- oder einem Metallmaterial bestehen und in die Raststellung vorgespannt sein. Bei der Kabelverschraubung mit dem Gehäuse gerät die Stirnverzahnung des Kontaktträgers in Kontakt mit der Stirnverzahnung der Kabelverschraubung, wobei die elastisch ausgebildeten Zähne bei dem Verschraubungsvorgang vorzugsweise elastisch zurück schwenken. Ein wieder Losdrehen der Kabelverschraubung ist anschließend nicht möglich, da die beiden Stirnverzahnungen ineinander eingreifen und keine oder nur eine sehr geringe Kraftkomponente vorliegt, die die elastisch ausgebildeten Zähne wieder außer Eingriff mit der Stirnverzahnung bringt.Advantageously, at least one star tooth has elastically formed teeth. The elastically formed Teeth are formed in particular on the contact device and preferably on the contact carrier. The elastically formed teeth may consist of a plastic or a metal material and be biased into the detent position. In the cable gland with the housing, the spur gearing of the contact carrier is in contact with the spur gearing of the cable gland, wherein the elastically formed teeth preferably pivot elastically back in the glanding process. A loosening the cable gland is not possible then, since the two spur gears mesh with each other and no or only a very small force component is present, which brings the elastically formed teeth out of engagement with the spur gear.
In bevorzugten Ausgestaltungen weist der Kontaktträger wenigstens einen Kontakt auf, der einer Gruppe von Kontakten entnommen ist, die Schraubkontakte, Klemmkontakte, Steckkontakte, Lötkontakte und dergleichen mehr umfasst.In preferred embodiments, the contact carrier has at least one contact, which is taken from a group of contacts, which comprises screw contacts, clamping contacts, plug contacts, solder contacts and the like.
In einer konkreten Ausgestaltung ist wenigstens ein Kontakt als Schraubkontakt ausgeführt. Es ist ebenso möglich, dass die Kontakte als Klemmkontakte ausgeführt sind oder dass die einzelnen Adern der mit einander zu verbindenden Kabeln miteinander verlötet sind.In a specific embodiment, at least one contact is designed as a screw contact. It is also possible that the contacts are designed as terminal contacts or that the individual wires of the cables to be connected to each other are soldered together.
In bevorzugten Ausgestaltungen ist der Kontaktträger auf beiden Seiten mit einer Stirnverzahnung ausgerüstet. Insbesondere ist der Kontaktträger seitensymmetrisch aufgebaut.In preferred embodiments, the contact carrier is equipped on both sides with a spur gear. In particular, the contact carrier is constructed by side symmetry.
Ein seitensymmetrischer Kontaktträger, der auf beiden Seiten mit einer Stirnverzahnung ausgerüstet ist hat viele Vorteile, da es ermöglicht wird, den Leitungsverbinder nach einem erstmaligen Verrasten wieder zu öffnen und den Kontaktträger erneut wieder zu verwenden, auch wenn die Rasteinheit an der Stirnseite beim Öffnen beschädigt wurde. Der Kontaktträger kann dann umgedreht wieder eingebaut werden und die Stirnverzahnung an der anderen Seite kann zu einem rastenden Eingriff mit einer entsprechenden Kabelverschraubung dienen.A side-symmetric contact carrier, which is equipped with a spur toothing on both sides, has many advantages, since it is possible to reopen the line connector after a first-time locking and reuse the contact carrier again, even if the locking unit was damaged at the front side when opening. The contact carrier can then be re-installed in reverse and the spur toothing on the other side can serve for a latching engagement with a corresponding cable gland.
Außerdem erleichtert ein spiegelsymmetrisch aufgebauter Kontaktträger die Montage, da man bei der Montage nicht darauf achten muss, welche Seite des Kontaktträgers zu welcher Seite hin ausgerichtet ist.In addition, a mirror-symmetrically constructed contact carrier facilitates the assembly, since you do not have to pay attention during assembly, which side of the contact carrier is aligned to which side.
Möglich ist es auch, dass auf beiden Seiten der Rohreinrichtung eine Kabelverschraubung aufgeschraubt wird, die entsprechend mit einer Stirnverzahnung des Kontaktträgers verrastet.It is also possible that a cable gland is screwed on both sides of the pipe device, which is correspondingly locked with a spur toothing of the contact carrier.
In allen Ausgestaltungen kann das Kabel 2 oder mehr und insbesondere auch 5, 8, 10 oder 12 oder eine andere Anzahl von Adern umfassen. In allen Ausgestaltungen weisen die Kabelverschraubungen auf den voneinander abgewandten Seiten vorzugsweise Gewinde auf, um dort mit entsprechenden Muttern verschraubt zu werden. Bei der Verschraubung der Mutter mit der entsprechenden Kabelverschraubung erfolgt eine klemmende Aufnahme des aufgenommenen Kabels an der Kabelverschraubung. Zur Abdichtung ist im Inneren der Kabelverschraubung vorzugsweise eine Dichtung vorgesehen, die insbesondere aus einem gummielastischen Material oder dergleichen besteht.In all embodiments, the cable may comprise 2 or more and in particular also 5, 8, 10 or 12 or a different number of wires. In all embodiments, the cable glands on the opposite sides preferably thread to be bolted there with corresponding nuts. When screwing the nut with the appropriate cable gland, a clamped recording of the recorded cable to the cable gland. For sealing a seal is preferably provided in the interior of the cable gland, which consists in particular of a rubber-elastic material or the like.
Zur Montage wird eine Mutter und die entsprechende Kabelverschraubung bzw. Rohreinrichtung mit dazugehöriger Kabelverschraubung auf ein Kabelende aufgeschoben und die beiden Kabelenden werden an dem Kontaktträger miteinander verbunden. Anschließend wird von der einen Seite die eine Kabelverschraubung und von der anderen Seite die andere Kabelverschraubung ggf. mit der Rohreinrichtung auf den Kontaktträger geschoben, so dass der Kontaktträger verdrehsicher innerhalb der Rohreinrichtung aufgenommen ist. Anschließend wird die oder es werden die Kabelverschraubungen mit der Rohreinrichtung verschraubt. Im diesem Zustand ist der Kontaktträger schon berührsicher an dem Gehäuse aufgenommen. Da die Kabelverschraubung an dem Kontaktträger eingerastet ist, ist ein Öffnen des Gehäuses ohne weiteres nicht möglich. Insbesondere kann es ohne Werkzeug von Hand praktisch nicht gelingen, das Gehäuse wieder zu öffnen, so dass ein sehr zuverlässiger Schutz vor Berührung der Aderenden auch für unbedarfte Personen vorliegt.For assembly, a nut and the corresponding cable gland or pipe device with associated cable gland is pushed onto a cable end and the both cable ends are connected to each other at the contact carrier. Subsequently, a cable gland is pushed from one side and the other cable gland from the other side, possibly with the tube device, onto the contact carrier, so that the contact carrier is held against rotation within the tube device. Subsequently, the or the cable glands are screwed to the pipe device. In this state, the contact carrier is already taken safe to touch the housing. Since the cable gland is locked to the contact carrier, opening the housing is not readily possible. In particular, it can be practically impossible to open the housing without tools by hand, so that there is a very reliable protection against touching the wire ends even for inexperienced people.
Im Anschluss an die Verschraubung der Kabelverschraubung mit der Rohreinrichtung werden die Muttern an den Enden der Kabelverschraubungen mit den Kabelverschraubungen verschraubt, so dass die Kabelenden klemmend und abgedichtet an den Kabelverschraubungen aufgenommen werden.Following the screwing of the cable gland to the pipe device, the nuts are screwed to the cable glands at the ends of the cable glands so that the cable ends are clamped and sealed to the cable glands.
Der erfindungsgemäße Leitungsverbinder stellt eine einfach zu montierende Verbindung wenigstens zweier Kabel zur Verfügung, wobei der Leitungsverbinder insbesondere aus vier einfachen Kunststoffteilen und einem Kontaktträger zur Verbindung der Kabelenden der miteinender zu verbindenden Kabel bestehen kann. Der Aufbau ist kleinbauend und die Montage kann einfach und ohne Spezialwerkzeug erfolgen.The line connector according to the invention provides an easy-to-install connection of at least two cables available, wherein the line connector may consist in particular of four simple plastic parts and a contact carrier for connecting the cable ends of miteinender cable to be connected.
